He's giving the code away, not hosting a giveaway...I think he's fine.

I think this qualifies as "re-gifting", which is not allowed. You should give the code back. The guy that created the GA will have that GA deleted and we're back to square one. :)

Its pretty complicated because of the rules.. he is doing a giveaway but he isnt gaining steamgift value because he isnt hosting one.. so yea i actually dont know..

Who cares, you're all being uptight.
The point is, he won it, but he can't activate it, so he decided to give it away.
Calm yourselves.

So it helps to actually read. I missed the part about him winning it here. Sorry.

I would email the original GA creator and tell him that you can't use the game. He can then go into the GA, and click the "Choose a Different Winner" button. SG will automatically pick someone else to win.

I get all your points about marking as Not Received.

Sorry Ericaltm if I disappointed you now. I saw no harm in giving away I game I can't even use because of region restricitions , but I'm not going to risk a ban because of it...

Even though I feel kinda guilty because I just talked to GA who didn't mean all of this I'll probably just have to Mark as Not Received. Hope he doesn't get banned though...

You could just trade it for not region locked version and marked it as (not) received.

As far as rules are concerned, you still haven't received the game you won. You have received an unrelated key for the US version of the same game, but it's not the one you won. Technically, you are free to do whatever you like with the key -- the nice thing to do would be to return it to sender without giving it to anyone else, but that's something not covered by SG rules. As per SG rules, you wait your 7 days, and if you don't receive the game in a form you can activate, then "not received".
